If an Igbo man becomes the VP, what will happen to IPOB. This is a confirmation that not all Igbos support biafra, or the Igbos can't stand firm on what they want. Obviously this is a sign of disunity from this side which will still result in more problems for these nation

Proudly from South-West, I am happy that the running mate to Atiku is coming from South East. Those saying that the running mate should come from South West are the category of people who are eating on the table with others with 50 pieces of meat but will greedily munch all the meat and put knife to the throat of others on the table. So "Atiluated" on this.
God bless you my good Yoruba friend here

angry Big mistake

Why give vp to south East when u already have their votes.

VP should have been used to get massive votes from South West
That's my thinking the south east was already in the bag ...

The SW and SE will determine the outcome of 2019 general election. As for the North, PMB will defeat Atiku any day. And I know how the SW respect their leaders unlike the southeast. If Atiku score up to what Jonathan got in 2015,I will assume he's getting close to becoming the president of Nigeria someday.

If this is true, then I am glad.

Obi is the most frugal administrator in Nigeria. Set anambra on the part of progress and sustainability.

The current VP is not in his class in experience and policy.


With atiku's business sense, and obi's management and frugality, Nigeria's wealth is in safe hands.

If you live in the north, you'll know that there's no way millions of "hausa people" will vote this dou over Buhari. It's just a hopeless battle honestly, with most of the fighting done by people online with fancy phones and big english. In the end it won't matter cos of the millions of people in this cult movement who'll go any length to vote and prove their loyalty to buhari who has proven his religious loyalty to them. I don't even want to think or talk about Nigerian politics biko, I just need to get out asap.

L0L.

I'm a Buhari man but I respect what PDP is doing. Putting sentiments aside, Igbos deserve a shot it the No.1 or No.2 seat of power, it's long overdue.

I wonder o

though its a shame that tribe is a determinant in who we pick as our leader, I guess that's the reality on the ground

Ok let's look at it from the tribalist point of view

Obj was president for 8 yrs
osinbajo vp for 4 years
bankole was speaker for 4 years
(in the last 20 years of Nigeria democracy)

And the tribalist among them are not happy about the prospect of a VP from the SE

What kind of human beings are these

guy from analysis buhari will win hands down because obi as a VP is a bad market for atiku in d North cos majority of northerners will not want an Igbo man as VP n d Yorubas will also not vote for atiku because they prefer their own as VP cos they might see it as Igbos taking d presidency from backdoor

What about Shagari/Ekwueme? Did the North reject this?

Mind you, only in the NorthWest will Atiku have a challenge. He will win my zone, the North-central with a wide margin and will get not less than Half of the North-east (his home zone).

Most Northern christians know that Atiku is not a religious extremist like Buhari.
Christians are not less than 30% of the 19 northern states, so expect this 30% already for Atiku.
Many other liberal northern muslims will follow suit. Atiku cannot get less than 40% of the entire North and middlebelt.

Since we (masses) are not United to even question or hold our leaders responsible for a fair leadership, then the only way is to keep bringing in a new person till we get the right person.


There are no shortage of corrupt politicians in the political class my brother. Until the citizens are ready to teach the major parties in this country a lesson, this is the same position we will always find ourselves. And who looses when we keep putting the wrong people in office? We the masses NOT them! Don't make it sound like they are the ones loosing, a term of being president of this country is a huge achievement to any politician, it doesn't have to be 8 years before you can call it success. Being president for just one term guarantees their unborn generations wealth, and as we have seen with Buhari, 4 years can be really long. Like i said, Who will eventually loose out when we keep revolving around the list of endless corrupt politicians? The answer is obviously not them, But Us! Think again.

No gang up anywhere, all we want is restructuring.
AND you think and believe that atiku would restructure nigeria? let atiku deliver that as a campaign promise and i will count it as one campaign lie. nigeria is not yet ripe for restructuring, the constitution would have to be amended, coupled with resistance from the major stakeholders (senate governors and reps), for the obvious reason that it would deny them certain entitlements. the only way atiku can achieve restructuring (that's if he truly means to) is to disregard the rule of law and impose decisions on the senate, and if he sucessfully does that, restructuring would be impossible in 4 years (thats if he wants to keep to his promise of one term), but if he decides to run for 2nd tenure the amount of suffering restructuring would bring to states like jigawa, ekiti, kebbi, osun, some of the south eastern states etc would make sure he doesnt get re elected.
restructing is an herculian task.

The number of SE voters in SW will give PDP the victory combined with SW xtians.

You sound informed. Can you extensively tell me why, I'm from south east as in typical Igbo, but I feel SW VP would have been a great move...even if Atiku picks anini or Osama, the igbos I know will vote him for real.

Now can you kindly inform me why you think the alleged move was a wise decision....

Igbos and SS will still vote Atiku even with a Yoruba VP, but the turn out would be very low.

In politics, you don't play with your strongholds or take them for granted.
Just as the North-west is Buhari's stronghold, the SE/SS is Atiku's stronghold (with a VP from their zone).

It depends on the north you are talking.
He will lose in the Northwest but he will win in the NC, and possibly even the north east, with taraba and adamawa in his strong zone.

The atiku game plan is to win the SS/SE and NC aggressively, and then chunk up significant votes in buhari strongholds while losing.

And given the political reality in Nigeria, it is very possible.

The SS/SE everywhere need to come out and vote aggressively, while atiku focus his campaign in the North to claw significant votes.

That's Buhari vote -1

When people start their posts with I'm Yoruba or I'm from the SW or I'm a Yoruba muslim, they are actually Igbos. Yoruba people don't insert their tribes into their posts, this is what Igbos do
